Pamplin Historical Park & The National Museum of the Civil War Soldier now offers visitors a detailed map of the Petersburg Campaign. Commissioned by Trailhead Graphics, the map is a guide to historic and modern features that commemorate the Petersburg area Civil War battlefields. The map details such locations as Five Forks Battlefield, Reams Station Battlefield, the Eastern and Western Fronts, Pamplin Historical Park, and Grant’s Headquarters at City Point. It also indicates Virginia Civil War Trail Sites, locations of earthworks, monuments, markers, and visitor centers around the Petersburg area as well as other Civil War points of interest.

Trailhead Graphics (aka Battlefield America) has been making detailed custom cartography since 1991. Their maps enable the user to identify and interpret historic landmarks. These maps are highly recommended by historians, park rangers and Civil War authorities who suggest that these maps are the best way to get around when you are visiting a battlefield. They are “simply the best maps available,” said A. Wilson Greene, President and CEO of Pamplin Historical Park.

The map is the same size as a standard road map and folds easily to fit into the glove compartment of your car. It is clean, easily readable, full color, and printed on waterproof and tear-resistant paper. It is meant to last through countless travel adventures. The Petersburg Campaign map is the latest addition to the Battlefield America Civil War map series, which also includes Gettysburg National Military Park, Antietam National Battlefield, and Shiloh National Military Park. The maps are designed for the dedicated battlefield enthusiast as well as the casual visitor.

Petersburg Campaign maps are available in Pamplin Historical Park�s Civil War Store for $7.48 each. Contact the Civil War Store at 804-861-2408 or purchase maps online here.
